To cater for the €2000 tax credit for women returning to work after long absence in the Shireburn Payroll package we recommend that you enter the €2000 figure in the Previous Employment section of the employee details screen as if this amount has already been paid.






During the FSS calculation the first €2000 in tax will not be deducted as the system assumes they have already been paid and tax will start to be deducted when the tax due to date exceeds this figure


N.B. This credit applies for the 12 month period from the employee's return to work and not for the current calendar payroll year so after running the end of year procedures to open a new payroll year this figure may need to be re-visited and adjusted according to how much of the credit was availed of in the previous payroll year and how much remains available for the new payroll year.
